Aquarium

[Gianni]

This script is an alternative (improvement) to the script published at this link (www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/186225-interesting-effect-with-transparency). In that post a flash animation was used and therefore you need the flash player to work, while here only javascript is used.
Here, too, the aim is to show an interesting effect that can be obtained by exploiting transparency, but can also be used as it is just for fun.
The animation consists of some fish wandering around the screen. You can continue working on the computer by letting them swim.
The javascript source was not written by me, but I got it from this link: https://github.com/lrusso/Aquarium. I shrunk it down a bit and tweaked it so that fish can swim across the entire screen even with different sized monitors.
The fish images and html and javascript sources have been bundled into a single "monolithic" AutoIt script, so it's easier to run.
I hope you find it relaxing.
Have fun

Sorry for the off-topic subject, but I recall a very similar desktop "game" which looks nearly identical to the JS game, infact both of them aren't really games, it's just a bunch of fish moving

It was many many years ago and I felt nostalgic, so thought I'd share. If anyone knows what it's called then they can share it with me.

@TheDcoder - back in 2000, I had a screensaver like this. It was from SereneScreen Marine Aquarium
It's still been updated today. 

@Chimp - Great work on this. Lots of potential for future AutoIt projects, this can provide.

PS: Did I just Yoda text right there????🤣

@Chimp - NICELY DONE!

If you are ever so inclined, would like, please, options to control which monitors to have the aquarium or all of them at once while fishes swim between them.
